This balance is not always possible for Antarctica because it has no permanent residents and no flora.

They also create limitless possibilities for meaningful work. Begin by inviting one or a few children to the activity, choosing a folder (beginning with the children's home continent), and talking about what everyone sees in each image. Later, you can use the photos for sorting games by asking which card is from which continent? Then, when the children are writing (with the movable alphabet, chalkboards, or a pencil), use these to inspire the recording process. For example, you can teach the children how to play detective by having one child write about their favorite image and then, later, have another child read it and find the image described.
